Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing is an important cellular mechanism that fine tunes the gating properties of both voltage- and ligand-gated ion-channels. The cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel, Nav1.5, is subject to alternative splicing of the DI S3-S4 linker, which generates two types of channels with different activation properties. Here, we show that the gating differences between the adult (mH1) and neonatal (Nav1.5e)...
